Hey MrScratch, welcome! Good for you!
Yeah, I would say the Cabriolets are probably a little heavier on account of the reinforcements & top mechanism and a little more dangerous on account of the lack of a rollbar. If you're concerned with safety but want open-air driving, the Targas are a great option. I have a 1977 911 Targa, and I feel safe in it.
I Googled around for a while looking for pictures of a rollover accident in a Targa or a Cabriolet, but could find none.
Another couple things to consider:
Cabriolets and Targas are going to be less rigid than a coupe. Going to stiffer suspension will make the car shake more than a coupe would.
The seals that keep Cabriolets and Targas waterproof are in varying states of availability. They're also expensive.
Coupes hold their value better.
Post some pictures of your purchase when you pick it up! Best of luck, welcome to the community! Everyone here is super helpful.
